IPL Corruption and Match-Fixing Investigations

[social]

History is littered with examples of entrepreneurs who quite rightly lost control of their baby once it got to a certain level of development

Modi has done a good job for the most part but, as it stands, he might be lucky to retain his freedom let alone chairmanship of the IPL

But whats the story behind the curtain though? Was Modi shown the door because he did not fill someone's stomach? Or was it because something was about to go down and BCCI stepped in to avoid it or minimize the damage? Because as far as i remember Modi was BCCI's baby....all of a sudden he is a brat?

Big guns in BCCI never liked Modi. They found an opportunity to bring him down and they milked the situation for all its worth.

The guys in the BCCI are always afraid when ONE guy gets prominence.. And they try their best to bring him down. Actually, that is the case across most fields in India!!! One more reason to appreciate Sachin tbh... The fact that he has survived a national malaise.

It does sound like there was more than sour grapes involved in this however. Cue hackneyed expressions involving smoke and fire.

2 key differences are that Sachin is almost unfailingly modest and polite plus he's indispensible

On the other hand, Modi supposedly posesses neither of those attributes
